Subject: saree and pants

honey,

Maybe you are right, we don't need a computer here. But Ashok is planning to give it to his sister when he leaves India. I am not putting any money into it. Ashok wants to buy. If he buys....but still, as you said, getting a phone connection is not so easy. We will have to wait for some time. hmmm...letz see.

Our company in S city doesn't do any software development. It is a purchasing office for the commercial department of B company. They take orders for different B company products from other companies. B company has a separate division that acts as a purchasing center. The branch in S city falls under this category. So there is no scope for any software work there. I have seen B company in your country map. I think it is there in S city also. Or maybe, it is in W city, not S city.

I will follow your advice about the cellphone. It is too late for me to buy such things.

And about the two new words..."tact" has many meanings. One is to be clever. What I wrote was "keep in-tact". It means, to keep everything together.

The courier company wanted bills of the saree and a letter from me saying that the sarees are not for sale. Yesterday evening they told me this. I think those things might be on the way to you now. Tell me when it reaches you. You need a "blouse" also to wear with the saree. The blouse has to be made according to your size. And I don't know your size. But for the time being, you can use the top of a skirt with it, I will send you a picture of a woman wearing saree so that you will know how it is worn. Tell me when it reaches you.

I need to go to the shop today again to exchange my pants for a longer one. The one I have is just correct. But I need a little more length to be worn formally. When you told me that you bought me pants, I wondered how you came to know that I need pants! That was a surprise.

You have a lot of work to do nowadays? Is it very hard? How are you feeling at your office about the colleagues and the nature of the work?

You haven't written much about your new work.

Today also, there isn't anything to do. I am sitting here, thinking of you and listening to songs. I feel excited!!!!!!! love you...

Love

Kamal
